SPRING PLEASURE TOURS 

TO 

WASHINGTON, D. C, 

VIA 

PENNSYLVANIA RAILROAD. 



To inaugurate a series of tours that would embody the greatest 
possible attractions, at the least possible expense consistent with 
the high standard of their tourist system, has been the main object 
of the Pennsylvania Railroad Company in organizing its spring 
personally-conducted tours to the National Capital from New York. 
They offer to the people of New York, New Jersey, and Con- 
necticut so many attractive features at so moderate a round-trip 
rate that they must appeal to all tourists as an exceptionally 
favorable opportunity of "seeing" Washington thoroughly and 
comfortably, and under the most favorable auspices. 

Thursday, February igth, i8gi, . 

Thursday, March igth, i8gi , 

Thursday, April 16th, i8gi , 

are the dates selected for these tours. 

Round-Trip Tickets, $12.50, 

Include, in addition to transportation, dinner at Broad Street Station 
restaurant, Philadelphia, going, and supper returning, and accom- 
modations at La Normandie, Willards, Ebbitt, or Arlington Hotels 
from supper February 19th, March 19th, April 16th respectively, 
until and including luncheon on the following Saturday.

Many things might be said in favor of these tours did space 
allow. They are pleasure trips in the best sense of the word. 
The method of traveling, the point selected, the manner of con- 
ducting the tours, all combine to give the tourist the greatest 
possible amount of pleasure and comfort with the minimum of 
expense and of the cares incident to travel. Special trains of Penn- 
sylvania Railroad Standard Coaches are provided, in which the 
entire trip from New York and back is made. The tourists travel 
under the personal escort of the Tourist Agent and Chaperon. The 
Tourist Agent has entire charge of the train and all of the arrange- 
ments for the entertainment of the party en route and in Washington. 
He will look after their comfort, and render all the aid in his 
power to make the trip agreeable and profitable. He will be as- 
sisted by a baggage agent, who will attend to the transfer and 
rooming of luggage. The Chaperon is especially charged with 
the care of the ladies. She will be their companion and guide, 
so that ladies who may be without male escort need not hesitate 
to join the party. This feature originated with this company, 
and is one which all ladies heartily appreciate. The excursion 
tickets, which are to be had at a rate of $12.50, wfll not only 
cover railway, fare for the round trip, but meals en route, hotel 
entertainment, and in fact every item of necessary expense. The 
tourists need not provide themselves with any funds beyond such 
as they may deem necessary for street-car fare, incidentals, or 
chance purchases they may be inclined to make. 

The best entertainment will be afforded, as the leading hotels 
have been selected and regular first class rates are paid, placing 
the tourist on an equal footing with other guests. The loca- 
tion of hotels, assured features of tour, list of booking offices 
where tickets and itineraries may be obtained and room reserva- 
tions made, together with the itinerary in detail, with hours of 
arrival and departure, will be found at the end of this pamphlet. 

For the better guidance of the tourists a short sketch of the 
principal places of interest in and around Washington is appended. 



The National Capital. 



WASHINGTON, the seat of the general government, is the hand- 
somest city in America, and one of the most beautiful capitals of 
the world. Its location, on the banks of the Potomac River, sur- 
rounded by the protecting highlands of Maryland and Virginia, is 
picturesque ; and the arrangement of the streets and avenues, the 
grouping of the public buildings, the large number of handsome 
parks and squares, and the rich profusion of trees, flowers, and 
shrubbery in the public grounds, give to the city a distinctive 
beauty and attractiveness that place it far above all other cities in 
the land. The plan of the city was originally designed by a 
French engineer, and approved by General Washington ; but for 
many years the development was slow, the broad avenues were 
unadorned with buildings, and the skeleton of the present city, on 
account of the straggling nature of its improvements, and the 
great gaps between its buildings, gained the sobriquet of "the 
city .of magnificent distances," — a title bestowed in scorn by a 
sneering foreigner, but now turned into a designation of merit by 
the magnificence of the structures with which the " distances " are 
hedged. Within the last twenty years the city has developed 
rapidly. Millions of dollars have been appropriated by the Na- 
tional Government in improving and beautifying it, and with the 
millions more expended by private enterprise, the Capital reflects 
credit on the great people whose genius created and whose liber- 
ality fostered its unexampled growth. 

(5) 



The public edifices command the admiration of the world. 
They were projected with the same regard for magnitude which 
characterizes all the features of the Capital, and have been con- 
structed and adorned with a hand as lavish in the expenditure of 
money as it is cunning in architectural skill and decorative genius. 

First, among all the buildings, is 

The Capitol. 

It is the largest and handsomest Government building on the 
face of the earth. The eminence, whose crest it surmounts, is 
many feet higher than the surrounding ground, and thus the im- 
mense proportions of the structure rise in majestic grandeur above 
the city. The edifice, constructed of white marble, is seven hundred 
and fifty-one feet long by three hundred and twenty-four feet broad, 
and the ground-plan covers three and one-half acres. The dome, 
whose apex is crowned by the bronze figure of the Goddess of 
Liberty, rises three hundred and ninety-seven feet above low tide in 
the Potomac, and those who climb to the summit will be rewarded 
with not only a splendid bird's-eye view of the city, but a magnifi- 
cent prospect over the hills and valleys of Virginia and Maryland. 
The main divisions of the building are the rotunda, the Senate 
chamber, and the hall of the House of Representatives, with the 
lesser chamber of the Supreme Court, Statuary Hall, the President's 
Room, the Marble Room, and the various apartments devoted to 
business purposes. Great porticos, supported by lofty columns, 
adorn both the east and west fronts. The grand stairways leading 
from the porticos to the pavement beneath are made to serve a great 
purpose in the decoration, and the most notable groups of allegorical 
statuary adorn the pediments and buttresses. The great bronze 
doors hang in the doorway leading from the grand portico to the 
rotunda. These are famous works of art, and their panels portray 
by figures in relief the principal events in the life of Columbus. 



The rotunda is an imposing apartment. Its encircling walls are 
embellished with paintings illustrative of the chief events in the 
history of America ; while the canopy, one hundred and eighty feet 
above the floor, is illumined with a series of allegorical groups 
representing the progress of civilization. Statuary Hall contains 
a collection of statues of the prominent soldiers, jurists, or states- 
men of each State. The hall of Representatives in the south and 
the Senate chamber in the north wing are both magnificent rooms. 
The Marble Room and the President's Room, in the rear of the 
Senate chamber, are remarkably beautiful, both in architectural 
finish and interior decoration. The Supreme Court room is notable 
as the judgment-seat of the highest tribunal in the land. It is open 
during the day. The justices, in their silken gowns, and the digni- 
fied air which pervades the whole apartment, make the visitor feel 
that he is in the august presence of personified justice. 

Grand stairways lead from the several stories of the building, all 
of which bear striking decorations. The corridors and ceilings are 
celebrated for the frescoes with which they are illuminated ; and, in 
fact, the entire building is stored with treasures of brush and chisel, 
which command the attention and compel the admiration* of even 
the most careless sightseer. 

The Capitol Park contains about fifty acres. It is planted in 
handsome trees, ornamented with parterres of flowers, and laid out 
in broad walks. Fountains throw up wreaths of silver spray, 
and magnificent lamps combine utility with beauty. Notable 
statues in the Capitol grounds are the colossal statue of Wash- 
ington, in the east park, and the heroic bronze statue of Chief 
Justice John Marshall, at the foot of the staircase of the west 
portico. 

The Capitol is open every day except Sunday. During sessions 
of Congress the public galleries of both Senate and House are 
open to visitors. Business commences at noon .of each day and con- 
tinues until late in the afternoon. " « 



The executive Mansion, 

popularly known as the White House, is located at the western end 
of Pennsylvania Avenue, the grand boulevard of the city. The 
building is one hundred and seventy by eighty-six feet, built of free- 
stone painted white, two stories high, with high porticos on the 
north and south fronts. The grounds are extensive, stretching to 
Pennsylvania Avenue on the north, and to the Washington Monu- 
ment and river on the south. The East Room, Blue Room, and 
State Dining-Room, all handsomely furnished, and ornamented with 
portraits of the presidents and their wives, are open to public inspec- 
tion. In the Blue Room the public and private receptions are held. 
The conservatories contain a large collection of rare plants and 
beautiful flowers. 

THE TREASURY DEPARTMENT 

is a large and imposing granite structure, situated on Pennsylvania 
Avenue and Fifteenth Street, adjoining the President's grounds. It 
is the great storehouse of the nation's money. The office of the 
Secretary of the Treasury is a very handsome apartment. The 
cash-room is not only a beautiful, but a very fascinating chamber, 
as within the walls all the coin and currency of the country are 
handled. Visitors are admitted to the gallery. The strong boxes 
or vaults, and the redemption division, where worn-out and dis- 
abled currency is counted and canceled, may be visited on a permit 
from the Secretary of the Treasury. Visitors admitted 9.30 to 2.30. 

THE BUREAU OF ENGRAVING AND PRINTING. 

The Bureau of Engraving and Printing, although under control 
of the Secretary of the Treasury, occupies a separate building on 
the Mall south of the Treasury, near the Washington Monument. 
The process of engraving and printing the notes and bonds may 
be seen here. Visitors admitted 9.30 to 4.30 P. M. 



The State department. 

The immense building, rising five stories above the street, and 
surmounted by a mansard roof, which bounds the President's 
grounds on the west, is devoted to the State, War, and Navy De- 
partments. It is one of the newest of the public edifices, as well as 
one of the finest. The architecture of the building is much ad- 
mired, as it represents an effective blending of the ancient with the 
modern. The Department of State occupies the southern wing. 
The interior decoration of the apartments is very elegant— the 
handsomest being the suite used by the Secretary of State and 
his assistants, and the diplomatic reception-room. The Library, 
in the third story, contains a magnificent collection of works re- 
lating to statecraft. It also contains the original draft of the Dec- 
laration of Independence, and the desk upon which it was written ; 
General Washington's sword, and his commission as commander- 
in-chief ; and various other relics of historical value ; the original 
rolls of the law, the treaties, and other documents relating to the 
consular and diplomatic service of the Government. Open from 
9.30 A. M. to 2.30 P. M., except Thursdays. 

The War Department. 

The north wing of this building furnishes the quarters of the 
War Department. It contains the headquarters of the Army and 
the office of the Secretary of War, with their administrative bu- 
reaus. A very interesting collection of the portraits of distin- 
guished generals will be found in the Army Headquarters and the 
apartments of the Secretary. The most interesting feature of the 
War Department to the general visitor is the Ordnance Museum, 
in the Winder building, just across Seventeenth Street, opposite the 
Department proper. This annex contains the records and archives 
relating to the late war. The flag-room contains a collection of 
battle-torn and bullet-riddled flags used on both sides in the war. 



10 

The exhibit of arms and accoutrements is also large and interesting. 
Some very old pieces of ordnance are shown side by side with the 
examples of latest invention. The office of the Signal Service is 
also here ; and one may see the working of the instruments em- 
ployed in various meteorological observations. Open 9 to 2. 

THE NAVY DEPARTMENT. 

This department occupies the south half of the east wing of the 
main building. The offices of the Secretary of the Navy and his 
assistants are strikingly handsome. The library is also noticeable 
for the style of its decoration. The Hydrographic Office, contain- 
ing the largest chart printing press in the United States, is located 
here, as is also the office of the Nautical Almanac. The grand 
stairways leading from attic to basement are wonderful pieces of 
workmanship. Open 9 to 2. 

THE INTERIOR DEPARTMENT. 

The principal branches of the Interior Department are patents 
and pensions. The Patent Office is an immense pile of granite 
covering two squares, extending from Seventh Street to Ninth, 
and F to G. The building is one of the handsomest of all the 
public offices, and is excellently arranged. The chief interest 
attaches to the museum of models, in which there is a model of 
every machine or device ever patented in the United States. An 
interesting relic to be seen here is the original printing press used 
by Benjamin Franklin. Open 9 to 2. 

The Pension Office. 

The Pension building was dedicated to public uses on the 4th of 
March, 1885, when the grand ball in honor of the inauguration of 
President Cleveland was held within its spacious walls. It is the 
latest acquisition to the number of public buildings, and differs 
from the others in its simplicity as well as in the materials used— 



12 

brick, terra-cotta, and iron. It is a very large structure, covering 
two acres, and three stories in height. The enormous business of 
the Pension Office is transacted in its numerous offices. 

THE POST-OFFICE DEPARTMENT. 

The general Post-Office building is located on F Street, just 
opposite the Patent Office. It is an imposing granite building of 
the Corinthian style of architecture. One can get a very good 
idea of how the vast business of the Post-Office is conducted, and 
may also visit the Dead-Letter Office on a permit from the Post- 
master-General or his chief clerk. A number of objects of interest 
may be seen, among others the book of accounts kept by Benjamin 
Franklin, first Postmaster-General of the Colonies. Open 9 to 2. 

The Smithsonian Institution. 

The Smithsonian building is the most picturesque structure in 
the Capital. It is built of red freestone, of Norman architecture, 
and is overtopped by towers and turrets of varying styles and 
heights. The surrounding grounds embrace about fifty acres, 
beautifully laid out in walks, drives, and flower-beds, and planted 
in one hundred and fifty varieties of trees. The institution was 
founded and endowed by James Smithson, an Englishman, for the 
" increase and diffusion of knowledge among men." It contains 
many valuable scientific specimens, which will prove very inter- 
esting to the visitor. A bronze statue of Professor Joseph Henry, 
first secretary of the Smithsonian Institution, stands a short dis- 
tance north of the building. Open 9 to 4. 

The National museum. 

The National Museum building is a very beautiful structure, of 
a pleasing order of architecture, situated in the Smithsonian 
grounds. It is one of the most attractive buildings in the city, as 



13 

it contains a vast collection of objects of recognized interest to 
every one. The collection includes specimens of pottery, ceram- 
ics, and textiles drawn from all quarters of the globe and repre- 
senting all stages of civilization. The ethnological, metallurgical, 
and geological exhibition is large and complete ; a rare collection of 
fossils, mammals, insects, and antiquities ; a materia medica and 
food exhibit ; and an extensive range of specimens of boats, cos- 
tumes, and implements relating to fisheries form a part of the enor- 
mous display of instructive objects. The United States Centennial 
exhibit, the domestic relics of General Washington, donations to 
the United States by foreign governments, and trophies of all the 
United States exploring expeditions are also kept here. Open 9 to 4. 

THE DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE. 

Directly west of the Smithsonian are the grounds and building 
of the Department of Agriculture. The grounds are laid out with 
a view to the combination of beauty with utility, as the collection 
of plants embraces sixteen hundred varieties. The experimental 
grounds cover about ten acres. The museum, within the building, 
shows a complete exhibition of the agricultural, horticultural, pomo- 
logical, and botanical productions of the country. There is also a 
large number of miscellaneous specimens ; and the entomological 
department is complete. On the west of the main building are 
the plant-houses, devoted to plants and shrubs of tropical growth. 
Open 9 to 4. 

The Fish Commission. 

The building occupied by the Fish Commission is situated at 
the northwest corner of Sixth and B Streets. It affords illus- 
trations of fish-hatching stations, models of fish-ways, and the 
appliances used in the hatching and distribution of fish. The 
aquarium also contains some fine specimens of fish. The carp- 
ponds for the propagation of carp and other varieties of the finny 
family are situated near the Washington Monument, where may 
also be seen a magnificent display of aquatic plants. 



14 

The naval Observatory. 

This is one of the foremost astronomical establishments of the 
world. It is situated at the foot of Twenty-fourth Street, on the 
banks of the Potomac. The chronometer-room contains all the 
chronometers used in the navy, as well as the apparatus which 
regulates the standard time of the country. The astronomical in- 
struments are numerous— the chief one being the great equatorial, 
one of the largest telescopes in the world. Visitors are admitted 
freely by day, but the number of night visitors is restricted by 
reason of interference with astronomical work. 

The army Medical Museum. 

The Army Medical Museum is located in the new Medical 
Library building in the Smithsonian grounds, near the National 
Museum. The museum contains a large variety of models, bones, 
&c, illustrating the effects of gunshot wounds and other accidents 
of war. Open 9 to 4. 

THE BOTANICAL GARDENS 

are situated on Pennsylvania Avenue, and at the western base of 
Capitol Hill. The grounds comprise ten acres, and are adorned 
with trees and shrubs of every clime. The conservatory contains 
a rare collection of tropical plants. 

THE BARRACKS, 

located on the southernmost point of land in the city, at the foot 
of Four and One-half Street, presents the destination for a pleas- 
ant drive, and is connected with many historical associations. The 
old Penitentiary, rendered famous by the prominent part it played 
in the assassination trials, stands here. Under one of its cells the 
body of Booth was for some time buried. It was formerly known 
as the Arsenal, and was then the storehouse of the Government's 
ammunition. Guard mount daily at 9 A. M. 



15 

NAVY YARD. 

Open 7 to 5. Very little work of construction is done at the 
Navy Yard at present, but the big guns receive there a final test, 
and a visit cannot fail to be interesting. 

THE CORCORAN GALLERY OF ART. 

Though not a public institution, in the sense of being under 
the patronage of the Government, the Corcoran Art Gallery is 
one of the most interesting institutions of Washington. It stands 
on Pennsylvania Avenue, at the corner of Seventeenth Street. It 
was the free gift to the public of that eminent philanthropist, the 
late William W. Corcoran. The collection of paintings, sculp- 
ture, and bronzes is very large, embracing the works of some of 
the most eminent artists of the world. Free admission is granted 
on Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Saturdays from 9 A. M. to 4 P. M. 

THE MONUMENTS OF THE CAPITAL. 

The monuments of the Capital constitute a collection of memo- 
rial tributes in marble and bronze unsurpassed in the world. First, 
among all, is 

The Washington Monument, situated on the crest of a slight em- 
inence in the open grounds to the south of the Executive Man- 
sion. It is a plain granite shaft or obelisk, rising to the height 
of five hundred and fifty-five feet, and is the loftiest memorial 
shaft now in existence. The interior is fitted with an iron stair- 
way of nine hundred steps, and a passenger elevator, by which 
the ascent may be made. A magnificent view is outspread from 
the summit on a clear day.

vania and New Hampshire Avenues. Cast from guns donated

of officers, seamen, and marines who fell in the late war. 

Bronze Statue of Martin Luther, Luther Place, near Thomas 
Circle. 

Bronze Statue of President Garfield, Maryland Avenue, southwest 
base of Capitol Park. 

Each one of these statues forms the central feature of the 
park, square, or circle in which it stands. 



The Suburbs of Washington. 



Georgetown, 

Or West Washington, is separated from the main city by Rock 
Creek. It is a pretty section of the metropolis, and from its 
heights many picturesque views of the Potomac and the Capital 
may be enjoyed. Oak Hill Cemetery, one of the most beautiful 
cities of the dead in the country, is located here. 

ARLINGTON, 

Formerly the home of the Lees, is situated on the Virginia shore 
of the Potomac, on high ground, commanding an extensive view 
in every direction. The mansion is a grand example of the home- 
stead of an old Virginia family. The grounds are now dedicated 
to the purposes of a national cemetery, which contains the ashes of 
sixteen thousand soldiers. The road to Arlington leads over the 
Aqueduct Bridge (so called from the fact that it supports the pipes 
of the city's water supply), and by Fort Meyer, the only garrisoned 
post in the vicinity of the Capital. 

Great Falls of the Potomac. 

An excursion to this point is one of the pleasantest to be enjoyed 
in the environs of Washington. The city reservoir is located here. 

(17) 



The drive leads through the most aristocratic portion of the city 
and suburbs, as well as the most picturesque portion of the sur- 
rounding country. 

Soldiers' home. 

The Soldiers' Home affords another beautiful drive. The build- 
ings are solid and substantial, and the park one of the handsomest 
in the country. A magnificent view of the city and its surround- 
ings may be enjoyed from the heights about the Soldiers' Home. 
A large number of veterans find a home within its gates. It has 
been the favorite summer resort of some of the Presidents. 

MOUNT VERNON. 

No trip to Washington is complete unless it is extended to 
Mount Vernon, the home of the Father of his Country. The man- 
sion is located on the banks of the Potomac, fifteen miles from 
Washington. It is built of wood, and under the fostering care of 
the Ladies' Mount Vernon Association it remains, in all its appoint- 
ments, just as it was when occupied by General Washington. The 
tomb is on the way from the landing to the house. The trip down 
the river is very interesting. The quaint old town of Alexandria, 
Fort Foote, and Fort Washington may be seen from the deck of the 
steamer. The steamer " Charles Macalester" will leave wharf foot 
of Seventh Street at 3.00 P. M. Fridays, February 20th, March 20th, 
and April 17th, 1891, and return at 6.30 P. M. 

The foregoing sketch embraces the principal points of interest in 
and around the National Capital. Others there are which could not 
be noticed in such a bare outline. They will, however, suggest 
themselves or be in someway brought to the attention of the visitor. 
Many days may be passed in visiting the attractive places, all of 
which are inseparably connected with the history of the Republic, 
and the visitor will conclude his tour a wiser citizen and a prouder 
American.
